Take this as a sign of things to come in the land of convergence. Yesterday, Ubuntu announced Ubuntu for Android. This new product basically allows you to run the entire Ubuntu Linux distribution on your Android smartphone connected to an external display and keyboard and mouse.

“And what they basically told us was, it doesn’t matter if you have defenses, whether you don’t infringe, whether our patents are invalid, you’re going to need to take a license, because there’s no way that you can get out of our grasp, that we have so many patents that we could overwhelm you.”

...

"In particular, the ALJ’s decision simply does not address the central basis for Barnes & Noble’s patent misuse defense—namely, that Microsoft’s Android licensing program has improperly leveraged patents covering at most trivial and outmoded design choices and implementation details in order to require OEMs to take licenses (and pay substantial licensing fees to Microsoft) for every Android device they sell, regardless of whether those devices infringe any of Microsoft’s patents."

You can't know the terms of all those licensing deals, they are secret - you're imagining what you want, and seek out a quote from a party which happens to say what you like (one heavily impacted by the issue, making their stance naturally balanced in their favour - just like MS would do in the other direction)

Sure, MS has some influence to push things, too much even ...but doubtful if that much, to push virtually everybody.
Also, at the least, they most likely remember that the EU is quite fine-happy.
